Kyoto Sanga and Kashima Antlers meet in the J1 League in clearly contrasting form. The hosts have just finished their league game with a 0-3 defeat, while the visitors have won two matches in a row and are unbeaten in five. Kyoto Sanga still have problems at home. In four home games this season they have lost three, and at the back they let opponents score more often than they score themselves. Kashima Antlers come in hot, winning four in a row and scoring more than one goal in several matches, but their away games still show leaks - not a side that shuts up shop completely. This looks like a game where Kashima Antlers will have more of the ball and gradually open up the hosts, who will sit deep. But if Kyoto Sanga still cannot score as in many recent matches, the game could get stuck in midfield and finish with few goals.
